May 9th, 2017 by Gabrielle, Project SpecialistcloseAuthor: Gabrielle, Project SpecialistName: Gabrielle RenteriaTitle: Project SpecialistAbout: Gabby's love of nature began with spending summers exploring Yosemite with family and on monthly camping trips with her Dad. After years of dreaming of a life in the mountains, three years ago she packed her things and left Southern California for Mono Lake. Gabby is excited to spend one more summer educating people about the Mono Basin before leaving for the University of Montana to pursue a degree in Wildlife Biology. In her free time, you can find her rock climbing, dancing at the Mobil, or exploring with her dog Jessie.See All Posts by Gabrielle (38)Contact Gabrielle

Each year the Committee awards two $1,000 scholarships to seniors who display a connection to Mono Lake and the Mono Lake story. All Mono County seniors with plans to attend a two- or four-year college or university within a year of graduation are encouraged to apply. Simply head down to the lake and answer the question: Why are places like Mono Lake important?
